First time looking into a speaker, so I'm sorry for not knowing about a lot of this stuff, but I had speakers that were very similar to these ones   http://www.thesource.ca/estore/Product.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&category=Mini+Shelf+Systems&product=8002816   You may have seen...

I mean EARBUDS. Like are there any EARBUDS on the market that can compare to HEAD PHONES? Likes power beats, etc

I.e., what EAR phones are the closest to producing headphone like quality and bass? Stupid question, I know, but I sweat a TON and summer is coming so wearing my headphones will be harder. 

Guys, how do you usually keep the XB 500s on your head? On the go, it's hard to keep on your neck without being slightly strangled.

That's funny.Does that EQ work for just Dub and acoustic? or a variety of songs?

Also, these work PERFECT for rap/hiphop, and good for r&b

i got the xb instead just because I think it's more suitable for ipod touch use. (Majority of how I will use it). I also didn't need the 15 ft cable or whatever

WOW, just got these XB500s today, and they are everything I expected them to be. Best headphones evah <3   They were a tiny tiny bit muddy with the vocals, but changing the itouch's eq to R&B solved it. These headphones are awesome

Guys,where did you pick up your Sony XBs and Audio technicas? Online, or in store, if so which store? I'm headed to the US tomorrow, I can pick one up..

Jesus, the Beats by Dre ARe overpriced..How comfy are the ATH-PRO700MK2? Does it have more bass quantity than the Ultrasones?

Thanks alot. I think I'll stick with the sonys. If the Dres aren't much crispy than them, and they cose only 49 bucks, I might as well get the sony XB 500s. Thanks alot for the help.

Quote: How can you compare ultrasone hfi 580 with Beats Studio?

So, good, The XB500 sounds like the best choice. Any more info about the Ultrasone HFI 580? Does anyfeature in the Ultrasone HFI 580 compensate for the awesome sony pillow softness on the ears?

Wow, sounds good. Those are more than what I can even detect! Now I got one more question. The reason I'm getting the XB 500's is because the 700's look HUGE. Will they be too awkward to carry outside the house?

I hope so, I just sometimes see people complaining about instrument seperation, and muddiness, whatever that means.

I tried the infamous Dr. Dre's Studio's, and they blew me away. The cash is crazy though.     After doing a bit of research, I decided that the Sony XB 500's bass = awesome. Unfortunately, I keep hearing that the mids, and highs aren't very crisp. Where can I buy headphones with similar...
